Electric Vehicle Car Loan Benefit Of Rs. 1.5 Lakh In Budget 2019 – Explained In Detail

The government will exempt Rs. 1.5 lakh and it accounts for a cumulative benefit of Rs. 2.5 lakh over the period of buying the EV for the taxpayers.

The deduction of the amount up to Rs. 1.5 lakh will be provided for interest paid on loan taken for the purchase of the zero-emission vehicle. The loan should be taken on or before March 31, 2023 according to the Madurai-born Finance Minister. Along with the tax exemption, the oncoming reduction in GST (Goods and Services Tax) for EVs from 12 per cent to 5 per cent will make them attractive for buyers while making a purchasing decision.
